Avengers Infinity War SHOCK: Tom Hiddleston reveals TRUTH behind Loki’s psyche

Following along his MCU character arc the god of mischief appears to have come full circle.

And now following his death in Marvel Avengers Infinity War, Hiddleston has opened up on Loki’s psyche throughout the film franchise.

Speaking at ACE Comic Con in Chicago last weekend, the star said: “The thing is, he is redeemed.

“I found it very touching because Loki, as a character, has been so broken for so long.”

Hiddleston continued: “I think the centre of him has been very fragile and very isolated after those traumatic events in the first film when he finds out that he was adopted.

“Not only was he adopted, but that his father had left him to die, so he has internalised that shame of being abandoned and being alone.

“And all of that shame has turned into something harder and angrier, which is why he becomes the villain he becomes.

“He comes down to earth, he tries to subjugate it, he becomes a villain, in every sense of the word.”

The actor added: “He’s motivated by hatred and anger. Then he loses his mother and he’s still not self-aware, in that way.

“And it’s only losing his father, who calls him one of his sons – Odin includes him, he says, ‘Oh my sons,’ at the beginning of Ragnarok – and the chaos of another sibling, Hela, turning up and Thor and Loki have to join forces, and Thor really gets through to Loki in that.

“So to have it all come full circle and for Loki [to] call himself an Odinson, to really identify with that, to identify with the strength of his father’s love before saving his brother, I found really touching.”

Hiddleston has also addressed if Loki is really dead.

He said: “Listen… I’ve heard some amazing theories about this. I was in a park in London a couple of weeks ago, and some guys came and said hi, and they asked me the same question.

“They said, ‘Hey, listen, we need an answer to this question. All the other times Loki’s died’ — there’s been a few — ‘he stabs with his right hand. And now he’s stabbing with his left hand.’

“I was like, ‘That’s incredible attention to detail.’ Your guess is as good as mine.”

Avengers 4 will be released in UK cinemas on April 26, 2019.
